Comfort food, warm and filling. This soup is all that. I copied the recipe out of a Frugal Gourmet cookbook many years ago. I’ve made a few changes to the original.

I love corn chowder. So simple, delicious and comforting.
I made a minor adjustment–rather than the half & half, I used one can of Campbell’s Cheddar Cheese Soup! Turned out great!
Arminta, that sounds like a good change! Yum!
Could you use milk instead of half and half. Trying to use what we have on hand
Christy, yes you can use milk. It won’t be as rich, but it will be good.
How many servings does this recipe make?
About 8-10 servings.
would this work in the crockpot or will using cream make it weird in the crockpot?
It will work in a crockpot. Just add the cream about 20 minutes before serving.
